Trailer Ramen Dojo

The fighting robot Dashi lives in a kendo dojo in Japan. In the dojo, nasty and brutal fighters train on the training robot to reduce their frustration. From day to day, the robot is badly mistreated, so Dashi decides to escape with his cleaning robot colleague Suimasu. The newly opened Ramen restaurant draws Dashis attention and becomes a refuge for him. Against his programming the combat robot wants to learn to cook ramen soup. At first against the will of the local chef, later with his consent.

Titel Design Exposition

We created a title spec for a fictional TV-Series about the well known serial-killer H.H. Holmes. During the world expo in 1893 Holmes lured clueless visitors into his hotel of death. This background research and worldbuilding enabled us to create a title, picturing the contrast between the darkness and corruption of Holmes and the beauty of 19th century Chicago.
